10 Truly Unique Underwater Structures That Really Exist

Cancun Underwater Museum

Marine Park Director Jaime Gonzalez Canto and sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, worked together to create the Cancun Underwater Museum. This is a collection of over 400 sculptures that rest on the sea floor. The museum’s main goal is to help promote and protect Mexico’s coral reefs.

Aquarius Reef Base

Located 62 feet below sea level off Florida’s coast, the Aquarius Reef Base is an underwater lab that’s full of research equipment and computers. Built in 1986, its goal is to allow marine biologists to explore the area’s coral reef, plant life and animals. This lab is special because divers don’t continually need to return to the surface, risking the likelihood of them getting sick.
